“Tonight in this room are present people from all walks of life. We have legendary sports persons; we have the great Sachin Tendulkar. We have fantastic businessmen and businesswomen over here. We have Mr. Birla, the Punawalas here, and of course, we also have a set of talented artists from the entertainment world. The wonderful Madhuri Dixit, the greatest ever, Mr. Anil Kapoor and so many others. We are all here to extend our support to your ambition and all the charity you support, your highness," Shah Rukh Khan said in his speech.

He added, "I also heard your highness say ‘I don’t know if I have a favourite colour’, I just want to assure you that, your royal highness, even though your stay is extremely short in India, you’ll find more than one favourite colour from this country.”

After the star studded night, Shah Rukh Khan expressed his gratitude towards the royal couple in his tweet. The actor wrote: "The Royal couple was so gracious & full of poise. Tonite as I said is the nite of the King the Queen & the Knights. Wish all nites were same."
